Ameena Kara Callender
Personal Brief
Take a large farmland in the Midlands and add...
4 whole cubes of British coal dust and lard
1 tablespoon of Mozambique sugar
A dash of French wine
2 oz of Gujarati fruit
And 3 drops of Portuguese mustard.
For the next bit you will need a wised old lady and a young arty tomboy, carefully kneed the mixture for 6 - 12 years whilst acquiring the occasional help of a street dancing taxi driver with an Afro.
Leave to mature for a few years and slowly introduce nicotine and long walks on the countryside, joy riding LSD, sex, 2nd wave punk, motown, hip hop and house music.
Sift the ingredients of impurities and transfer to a seaside city on the south coast. Add a generous amount of partying, a design degree and more art, funk, northern soul and sexual curiosity.
Leave to mature for 8months in Japan.
Quickly add a couple of Rock bands, and roll in the dust of Australasia and South America for a further 12 months.
You are now ready to smoke the mixture for 4 years in London adding a hand full of costume jobs, style, journalism, theatrical events , and some more Rock and Roll debauchery.
Continue to stir in dreams of travel and theatre….
(She hates weird knives and forks, wine in plastic cups and cigarette buts in food.
She loves the countryside, Japanese food and swimming naked.)
